Abstract:
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of scraping therapy plus Yi Yi Ren (Semen Coicis) congee in treating functional dyspepsia due to dampness-heat blocking the stomach. Method Sixty-four patients were divided into an observation group and a control group by using the random number table, 32 cases in each group. The observation group was intervened by scraping therapy plus Yi Yi Ren (Semen Coicis) congee, while the control group was by Mosapride citrate dispersible tablets. The two groups were both treated for 4 weeks. The traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptom score, Nepean Dyspepsia Symptom Index (NDSI), and Nepean Dyspepsia Life Quality Index (NDLQI) were observed before and after the intervention and the clinical efficacy was evaluated, for comparison and analysis. Result The total effective rate was respectively 93.8%in the observation group and 78.1%in the control group, and the observation group was superior to the control group (P<0.05);after the intervention, the TCM symptom scores and NDSI scores dropped significantly in the two groups (P<0.05,P<0.01), and the NDLQI scores increased significantly in the two groups (P<0.05), and the improvements in the observation group were more significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Scraping therapy plus Yi Yi Ren (Semen Coicis) congee and Mosapride citrate dispersible tablets are both effective in treating functional dyspepsia due to dampness-heat blocking the stomach, while the former one can produce a more significant therapeutic efficacy and improve the symptoms and quality of life in a better way.
